And Tango Makes Three (First Book Special Edition)
In the zoo there are all kinds of animal families. But Tango's family is not like any of the others.
At New York City's Central Park Zoo, two male penguins fall in love and start a family by taking turns sitting on an abandoned egg until it hatches.
Roy and Silo, two male Chinstrap penguins at New York’s Central Park Zoo, do everything together, from walking to singing to swimming. When the other penguins at the zoo begin pairing off, Roy and Silo choose each other. Told through positive, affirming prose and charming watercolors, And Tango Makes Three follows the couple through their fruitless efforts to hatch a rock, until one day a zookeeper gives the dedicated fathers-to-be an extra egg that needs to be cared for. From this egg comes Tango, the very first penguin in the zoo to have two daddies.
Based on a true story, this heartwarming tale celebrates the joy of caring for others and underscores the role of love in every kind of family.
